Day 2 of sourcing was guided by feel, fabric, and function.

I focused heavily on natural materials and flowy silhouettes — dresses that move with your body, breathe easily, and feel as good as they look. There was a lot of travel-ready inspiration woven into today’s finds, especially as I prepare for two trips south this winter.

I was also recently invited to a destination wedding on the Amalfi Coast in Italy next year, and that inspiration absolutely showed up. Some of these pieces feel made for seaside dinners, warm evenings, and effortless elegance.

Alongside the dresses, I sourced a mix of cozy, everyday staples: field jackets, a stunning J.Crew Mercantile Kelly Green coat in size 18 (a true plus-size win), a fleece half-zip sweater that feels like a sunset, sweater vests that never stay in stock, and high-waisted orange wide-leg jeans.

I don’t shop by trends — but I stay informed. Pre-loved fashion should still feel fresh, current, and exciting, while remaining timeless and wearable.

Having support today allowed for focused sourcing time, and it was a reminder that sustainability isn’t just about clothing. It’s about community, care, and choosing pieces meant to be loved for a long time.

Thoughtful fashion, inspired by real life.
